Bulletin gone quiet

Nov 11, 2005

The Bulletin has been very quiet on the cruise liner terminal issue since the release of the draft Terms of Reference (TOR) and Initial Advice Statement (IAS). Hopefully you are working out how to make a retraction of accustions that Save Our Spit Assoc (SOSA) and Gecko had posted exaggerated images on their website of what a cruise liner terminal on The Spit may look like? I am looking forward to that!!!

Seems like SOSA and Gecko had nailed it seeing the draft TOR and the IAS show that the terminal will in fact be accommodating vessels up to 300 METRES! and provide on land terminal of up to 3 STOREYS (contravening local area plan); provide over 300 parking bays; and provide provision for intake of drinking water - as if GC's supply isn't already struggling to meet demand; wastewater management - GC system presently not coping; and refuelling of cruise and MILITARY vessels (just love to have nuclear powered US military vessels and 500 navy personnel running amok in Surfers).

Why don't you get an employee with a conscience to sit down and read the above documents and start doing some ethical reporting on the issue! You owe it to your award winning journalists like Alice Gorman to lift your standard! Bring back the GC Bulletin of the good old days.
